In a medium sauce pan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water and salt. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce to simmer for 25 minutes. Combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic in a small dish and set aside. Meanwhile, in a wok or large skillet heat oil over high and add onions and green chiles. Saute for 3-4 minutes, and then add broccoli and green beans. As soon as the veggies start to brighten in color, add the meat and the basil. Stir often. Just before the meat is browned completely and not quite cooked through, add the sauce mixture. Keep stirring for 30 seconds to a minute, until it is fragrant, the meat is done to your liking and the veggies are bright green, but not over cooked. Serve in a bowl over the coconut rice.

Howdy!

From gardens, bees and backyard chickens in the heart of Denver to starting from scratch in San Antonio. Our family of five is striving to find the simple life - the easy way. I spend my free time blogging and getting dirt under my nails along side my hard-working husband. Yay for modern housewifery, urban livestock and front yard gardens!
